ORION TRANSDERMAL PATCHES

Transdermal cannabis patches are a unique method of cannabis

  • consumption. A patch with a special adhesive is applied to a

veinous area of the body, and the cannabinoids (cannabis chemical compounds) enter the bloodstream for an effective and long-lasting

  • response. They can be used for pain and sleep management

amongst other medical benefits. Transdermal applications are an alternative option for users who do not want or cannot, consume cannabis by inhaling or ingesting the medication.

0 5 | O R I O N N U T R A C E U T I C A L S | I N V E S T O R P R E S E N T A T I O N

Orion will work to develop transdermal patches, with formulations including CBD, THC, THC-A, CBG, CBN, and / or other desired blends of cannabinoids. Orion's transdermal patches and topical gels are advisable solutions for the following conditions: Fibromyalgia Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Parkinson's Disease Schizophrenia Autism Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Epilepsy (99% CBD formulation) Multiple Sclerosis Dravet Syndrome

ADVANTAGES

More uniform plasma levels as delivery are controlled through the skin and into circulation Simple removal of the patch can reverse any potential adverse side effects, allowing for a more controlled and comfortable experience No "peaks" and valleys" as seen with oral administration (inhaling or ingesting cannabis) A non-invasive method of cannabis consumption Avoids first-pass effects with increased bioavailability Improved patient compliance due to the reduced dosing frequency Reduced side effects due to the reduction of peaks in plasma levels
